There’s two things I would want to imagine having to make a decision on that day...

Jumping from a window is one of them....don’t think I would have been able to do it. I would have went to the roof and just talked on the phone to my loved ones before the end came.

They couldn't get up to the roof if they wanted. Levels above them were on fire too and many couldn't even see through the smoke to find the stairs. Plus it's easy to say things like that in hindsight.

Watch the 6 part documentary National Geographic just did on Hulu.. the most unseen footage ever released.. crazy shyt


That female fighter pilot who said she knew going up to try to put down one of the planes was a suicide mission made me pause it. For those who haven't watched it, she said to load the missiles on to the aircraft takes 20 minutes. They didn't have time to waste. Her fellow pilot going up with her said he'd take out the cockpit with his jet, she said and I'll take out the tail with mine. They were too late to stop any planes but goddamn

:mjcry:

The ppl above the fire, where the plane hit, couldn’t get to the roof??

Idiot managers in the 2nd Tower telling hundreds of employees to go back to their office literally killed them all..

So many horrendous decisions.... everyone in leadership was incompetent that day.... 2nd Tower should've been completely evacuated once the 1st tower got hit.
just finished the first episode of the 9/11 doc by national geographic

wow new images that i have never seen before


those firefighters looked shook..like they knew death was knocking :wow:

I've watched a few docs on 9/11, a lot of people said the jet fuel traveled up and down the stairwells and elevator shafts. That plus the flames and smoke, it was impossible to escape if you were above the impact zone. One person got severely burned from a fire ball shooting down an elevator shaft. You have to remember they chose cross country flights because they'd have the maximum amount of jet fuel in them. The crash plus the large amount jet fuel meant max devastation/chaos.

Ah, they prob could. But still I'd be trying to get down not up.

Well I know they couldn’t get down. My point was if I was going to die I’d want to try to make it to the roof and whatever happens happens...I wouldn’t have jumped because that’s certain death. I’d want to give myself every second of a chance at rescue or survival.

Definitely. I've watched a few but this one was very detailed. That man who left that other man to die pissed me off so bad. That mf was just gonna die there if dude hadn't told him to get out then he leaves... I hope that mf has had consecutive bad days for the last 20 years :birdman:
